On-device ML Infrastructure Engineer (Compiler & Runtime)

(w/m/d) · 18.3.2025

Description

We are building the first end-to-end developer experience for ML development that, by taking advantage of Apple’s vertical integration, allows developers to iterate on model authoring, optimization, transformation, execution, debugging, profiling and analysis. As an engineer in this role, you will be tasked with building critical compiler and runtime infrastructure that powers almost all on device machine learning features across Apple devices. You will have the opportunity to leverage Apple’s unique vertical machine learning stack that goes all the way down to custom silicon and drive impact on a wide range of Apple features and products. Key responsibilities: Design, build, and maintain critical machine learning infrastructure that powers Apple’s on device machine learning features. Collaborate with downstream hardware compilers to best leverage Apple’s on device machine learning hardware. Collaborate with first and third party users to adopt our infrastructure and apply best practices when they implement machine learning on Apple devices. Ensure our infrastructure can run optimally for a wide range of first and third party machine learning models.
